Ahead of the theatrical release of Theatre: The Myth of Reality on October 16, its makers organised an unique campaign titled #UnwrittenByHer to honour women who carved unconventional paths and created unique spaces for themselves in society. Saji Cheriyan, the honourable minister for fisheries, culture and youth affairs, was the chief guest at the event held in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.

Lead actor Rima Kallingal, along with the other cast and crew members of the film were also present in the event.

The ceremony also witnessed the Kerala launch of the film’s trailer, which was first unveiled earlier at the Cannes Film Festival.
